"Thank you, boss."

Dong Jiu has countless emotions in his heart, and he has a little more kindness to this world, but the consent of the boss means that he and Xu Xiaoxiao are one step further apart.

No, it's a few steps. There is also the regret of not being able to finish high school, in the face of his family background, Dong Jiu has never hated that he was born in this family, and these things make him resist.

Maybe he once complained, but he never complained about his mother, but he just complained about the father who left after leaving these things, and it has always been a dark life, until Xu Xiaoxiao illuminated him.

It can be said that that time was his white moonlight.

Thinking of this, Dong Jiu didn't dare to continue thinking about it.

I quickly quickened my pace and left the store to find my next long-term part-time job.

Dong Jiu's mobile phone was broken, so he couldn't contact Su Ze, and even if he could, he didn't dare to trouble Su Ze, so he didn't know anything about what Xu Xiaoxiao posted on his phone. He hasn't had time to repair his mobile phone, and he is no longer at school, so he tried to save this money for repairing his mobile phone.

Although the place of work is very close to home, and she will pass by this store after work, Dong Jiu's mother insisted on repairing the mobile phone, but Dong Jiu refused to let her.

There are three reasons why he didn't let it, he was afraid that he couldn't help but contact Xu Xiaoxiao, and he would go to Xu Xiaoxiao, so wouldn't all this he did in vain, Xu Xiaoxiao was so smart, he would definitely guess.

I also want to save this money, and now that this month has passed, I will calculate with my mother whether I can make up the money to return to them at the end of the year before I consider whether to repair my phone.

The phone is broken, and it is not clear whether it can be repaired, Dong Jiu touched the mobile phone in his pocket, and there was no temperature.

Another reason is that he just wants to work hard and try to scrape together the money.

But because he didn't have a mobile phone, it was much more difficult for Dong Jiu to find a job, so he could only walk from store to store to check and inquire.

Because of the fatigue of the past few days, although Dong Jiu has lost a lot of weight, he still looks a little fat, and he doesn't look very bright. So when Dong Jiu entered the hotel, few shopkeepers would take him to heart, but he just coped with things, and he was also coldly looked down upon by many people. But Dong Jiu didn't care, he still had to smile on his face, after all, looking for a job is not a matter of one or two days, and he doesn't have much time to care about what others think of him.

In fact, during the period of looking for a job, he had mentioned to Xu Xiaoxiao the shop where he worked during the winter vacation, but because Xu Xiaoxiao had to go to school, he didn't have much time to go to school every day, and he saw Xu Xiaoxiao coming to him in the store.

His heart was fluttering, but fortunately reason stopped him, and he nodded and greeted everyone in advance.

"Excuse me... If a high school student comes to you and asks you if I'm not here, please everyone, can I say that I am not here? Dong Jiu said in a good voice.

However, the answers to him were perfunctory, but there was one reply that made him very worried.

"What? Girlfriend on the door? Which little girl is scum? ”

"Nothing, friends." Dong Jiu replied like this, but he was a little weak in his heart.

At that time, this sentence attracted a lot of ridicule, and Dong Jiu only regarded it as a joke at that time, and did not take it to heart and did not react too much.

But this sentence made him insomnia for a long time, thinking a lot, closing his eyes when he slept every day, all that floated in his mind was Xu Xiaoxiao's voice, and all that lingered in his ears was this sentence.

He didn't dare to think about it anymore, but he couldn't restrain himself.

Xu Xiaoxiao didn't live in this area when she was on vacation, but fortunately, these people agreed very happily and didn't embarrass Dong Jiu too much.

The workplace atmosphere here is much better than other places, I think it's because of Su Ze's iron-faced and selfless face.

Time is the same as always, Xu Xiaoxiao rarely comes to the store to look for him, he has seen Xu Xiaoxiao three times, but he secretly hid in the back kitchen and did not go out.

Listening to my colleagues, it seems that I have come to him twice, once in the morning. Someone replied that he hadn't seen it, and he hadn't been here for a long time.

Xu Xiaoxiao only acted as Dong Jiu and didn't do the morning shift, and came out in the afternoon a few days later, and came with Zhuang Wanyi, and still replied that he was not there.

Xu Xiaoxiao smiled at the waiter, "Hello, does Dong Jiu work here?" ”

"No, no, we don't know."

Xu Xiaoxiao didn't speak, this was Zhuang Wanyi's answer for her, "Okay, excuse me." ”

After speaking, he took Xu Xiaoxiao's hand and left.

After a few minutes, Dong Jiu came out of the back kitchen, his mobile phone still holding the dishes to be served to table No. 1, slightly stunned.

Zhuang Wanyi also came.

"Okay, don't be stunned, those two little girls are very good-looking." The waiter gently patted Dong Jiu's shoulder, saw the tears in his eyes, and sighed a little.

Now the little boy thinks about the things to worry about, and there is not necessarily the lack of adults.

This waiter has been working here for a long time, and he has always kept to himself, he does not provoke anyone, and no one comes to provoke him, and he does not fight or rob.

He is an old employee here, and it is rare to see a newcomer who can do it without fighting or grabbing, so he is a little optimistic about Dong Jiu, although he is a waiter on the surface, but he has no heart for promotion, so no one will come to target him.

"Is it really like that? In the future, it's hard to meet friendships comparable to those in high school. He could see Dong Jiu's thoughts.

"No, thank you." Brother.. Uncle?

Dong Jiu glanced at him, and didn't know what to call him, after all, the two of them were usually working desperately, and no one had ever chatted with anyone.

"Just call me Lao Chen."

The age difference between the two is actually not much, Chen Li is twenty-one years old, while Dong Jiu is sixteen years old, although there will be a generation gap, but it is not suitable to call brother, and it is even more inappropriate to call uncle.

"Well... I call you Brother Chen, right? Dong Jiu asked tentatively.

He has learned to be good friends with others, and he is no longer the cowardly Dong Jiu who dare not speak.

So this series of chats, he is still relatively polite, and it is quite smooth.

"That's fine." Chen Li nodded, and asked him to hurry to serve the food.

On the other hand, Dong Jiu also found a second job.

A month later, he no longer worries that Xu Xiaoxiao and Zhuang Wanyi will come to him, and he no longer worries that the money will not be repaid.

With the mother's money and his own two jobs, he can pay it back by saving food and saving, but there is no savings.

Dong Jiu and his mother carefully calculated, and the expenses of the remaining months were what they earned.

It's a blessing to be able to pay it back, how dare you have any luxury savings.

His life has been uneventful in these months, and there is not a day of rest, but it also proves that the efforts of the teenager will not be in vain.

Dong Jiu finished his noon work today, so he got off work, and took this time in the afternoon to find a job distributing flyers, he did not forget that today is his mother's birthday, so he wanted to take some of the money he saved to buy a gift for his mother.

It's winter, it's cold, and there won't be snow in November, at least until December.

Although Dong Jiu only wore a sweatshirt, it was still a little cold on the road, not that he was reluctant to wear clothes, but because once he worked, it would be very hot, and he had to change into work clothes.

It's a little cool to blow on the body.

Dong Jiu soon came to the cake shop less than two stations away from home.

The sparrows are small and have all the organs, and although this shop is small, it has everything it should have.

I earned 100 yuan by handing out flyers.

There are many varieties of cakes, and the mother does not like to eat chocolate, nor does she like to eat too much cream.

Dong Jiu chose two fruit cakes, for so many years, his mother has never had a birthday, but she has prepared it on time for his birthday every year.

It's time for him this time.

Although it is two small cakes, this is also his heart.

"Sister, this cake, pack two."

The shopkeeper standing on the side nodded, Dong Jiu was wearing a sweatshirt that was outdated last year, but the store did not treat him coldly, and packed Dong Jiu as quickly as possible.

"Hello, a total of 40 yuan, may I ask about the mobile phone or cash?"

"Cash." Dong Jiu opened his mouth gently, took out the 100 yuan he had just earned from the pocket of his clothes, and handed it to the store.

Then I patted my head again, oh no, I haven't repaired my mobile phone yet.

"Please take it. Spend 40 yuan, collect 100 for you, and find you 60. ”

Dong Jiu whispered thank you, took the cake and went home.

The mother still has some time to get home, and Dong Jiu is going to use the rest of the money to buy some vegetables for his mother to eat.

When the two of them work, they will have lunch there, and the time to go home to eat is only in the evening, usually if Dong Jiu arrives home first, then Dong Jiu will try to cook some dishes.

In addition, my work is related to catering, and I secretly watched the kitchen cooking in my spare time, and I learned some of it.

Dong Jiu took the cake into the refrigerator, there were some eggs in it, and a few cartons of milk, and there was nothing else. Because it was winter, he was not afraid of cakes, but wanted to put them in the refrigerator first and then surprise his mother.

There were still cabbage and peppers cut yesterday in the fridge, as well as two tomatoes, and a little enoki mushroom and tofu.

After Dong Jiu went to the vegetable market to buy some pork, his mother had not yet arrived.

Dong Jiu first cleaned the rice and put it in the rice cooker to cook the rice.

He moved quickly, first made a cross on the tomato with a knife, soaked it in hot water, and quickly tore off the skin.

Knocked another egg in the bowl, and he wanted to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes first.

Then clean the enoki mushrooms, stir-fry them in the pot a few times, pour in water, and then take advantage of this time to cut the tofu into pieces and pour it into the pot to cook.

Taking advantage of this time, Dong Jiu washed the pork and cut it into shreds, and took out the chili pepper and cut it into pieces.

Soon the chili stir-fry was ready.

Then it's time to stir-fry the cabbage.

Soon, the mother also returned.

"Mom." Dong Jiu put the last dish on the table, and his mother just pushed the door in.

"Happy birthday."

"Thank you." Chen Xuefen was a little surprised, thought about the day, today seems to be her birthday.

After the two of them took their seats, they ate quietly.

After eating, Dong Jiu took out the cake and gave it to his mother.

"Happy birthday, Mom. You've done a great job. Dong Jiu said this sentence again.

"Thank you..."Chen Xuefen's tone was a little choked, but she could still restrain herself.

"This family, if it weren't for your father, it wouldn't be like this, if my mother had been ruthless...... But my mother can't be relentless, after all, it's your father, I, I, I can't watch him lie on the bed like that...... I really ......."

"No, Mom, you've worked hard." Dong Jiu smiled at Chen Xuefen.

There are no surprises, nothing special, but the moves are enough.

The days to come will be as calm as water.

It has been more than ten days since the end of the college entrance examination, Xu Xiaoxiao also began to fill in the volunteers, Xu Xiaoxiao went to Dong Jiu's former place of work to find Dong Jiu to no avail, and inquired piecemeal, and finally she gave up, he himself did not cherish this friendship, so why did she value it so much.

Xiaoxiao likes to eat melons: Where do you want to report?

Wanyi likes to pet cats: let's go back to college.

Xiaoxiao likes to eat melons: can I be admitted?

Wanyi likes to pet cats: 90% of the time.

Xiaoxiao likes to eat melons: ???

Wanyi likes to pet cats: she can't pass the exam.

Xiaoxiao likes to eat melons: the one next to it is also good, although it is not the point, but it is good to be able to get on the two of us.

Xu Xiaoxiao was chatting with Zhuang Wanyi about volunteering, and the senior, who had never had much contact with her, also sent Xu Xiaoxiao a VX.

Ye Lanlan: Senior sister, do you have a school you want to apply for?

Xiaoxiao likes to eat melons: I want to apply for the exam and go back to the one next to me It seems to be good, do you have any suggestions from the seniors?

Ye Lanlan: That school is very good, although it is not as important as the point, but it is also considered the top in the other books, you can consider taking a look, but the senior still hopes that you can be admitted to Suhui, come on!

Xiaoxiao likes to eat melons: Thank you, senior.

Xu Xiaoxiao turned off her mobile phone, and checked the score line of Cha Suhui on the Internet, and her face instantly dropped: What do you think, you can't pass the test.

Then I checked the one next to it, Integrity University.

"There are quite a lot of projects in it, such as clinical medicine, modeling, finance...... The department is quite complete, looking at the dormitory four-person dormitory, the canteen, 3 canteens, Western restaurants, Chinese restaurants and Japanese food, the food is very good. Xu Xiaoxiao nodded with satisfaction, and then sent this document to Zhuang Wanyi, asking her to also ponder the benefits of this school, and let her also consider it.

On the day of the results, sure enough, Xu Xiaoxiao's self-positioning was very clear, she was not admitted to Suhui University, but the admission line of Zhengcheng University passed.

Xiaoxiao likes to eat melons: How is it, have you ever had one?

Wanyi likes to pet cats: Congratulations, I will be your alumnus again in the future.

Xiaoxiao likes to eat melons: Then what department are you going to apply for?

Wanyi likes to pet cats: I haven't thought about this yet.

Xu Xiaoxiao thought about it, and decided to ask her parents for their opinions, after all, her parents are also from the past, and they also understand the truth of applying for the exam, it is better than meditating in the bed by yourself.

"Thank you, boss."

Dong Jiu has countless emotions in his heart, and he has a little more kindness to this world, but the consent of the boss means that he and Xu Xiaoxiao are one step further apart.

No, it's a few steps. There is also the regret of not being able to finish high school, in the face of his family background, Dong Jiu has never hated that he was born in this family, and these things make him resist.
